Skidding system

We manufacture hydraulic skidding systems for heavy loads designed to move, install and position equipment, containers and offshore modules up to thousands of tons with millimeter precision — without cranes, even in confined shipyard and rig environments.

Our Hydraulic Skidding Systems provide a controlled, synchronized horizontal movement solution based on hydraulic power packs, skid shoes, sliding tracks and PLC-controlled systems. They are engineered for predictable load transfer, stable motion and accurate final positioning under full load.

Explore our Skidding system Models

Skidding system SKAT-1 SS 100 is engineered for efficient horizontal movement of oversized and heavy cargo weighing up to 100 tons. This system is ideal for safely transporting ships, transformers, and large prefabricated blocks during rigging and installation operations in confined or restricted environments.
Skidding system SKAT-1 SS 250 is a specialized solution engineered for precise horizontal movement of large and heavy objects weighing up to 250 tons. This system is ideal for the controlled transport of ships, transformers, and modular structures at shipyards, industrial sites, and heavy machinery facilities.
The SKAT-1 SS 600 skidding system is an advanced rigging solution designed for controlled horizontal movement of oversized and ultra-heavy objects weighing up to 1200 tons, such as ships, transformers, and large prefabricated industrial units.
Skidding system SKAT-2 is a specialized circular movement rigging platform designed to operate in tandem with cargo jacks, hydraulic portal lifts, horizontal transport systems, and other rigging equipment. It is engineered to perform complex heavy load movement and lifting tasks with precision and reliability.

Engineered for Extreme Loads and Limited Access

Our Heavy Lift Skidding Systems are built for projects where:

  • Crane capacity is insufficient or unavailable
  • Lifting operations are restricted by safety or space limitations
  • Loads must be transferred over long distances
  • Installation requires precise alignment

Each heavy load positioning system is custom-designed according to load weight, center of gravity, travel distance, friction coefficient and structural constraints.

Technical Features

  • Load capacity: from 100 to 10,000+ tons
  • Push–pull hydraulic cylinders with synchronized control
  • Modular skid tracks for extended travel distances
  • Low-friction sliding pads (PTFE / stainless steel systems)
  • PLC-controlled synchronization for multi-point skidding
  • Integrated load monitoring and stroke control
  • Electric or diesel hydraulic power units
  • Optional self propelled skidding system configuration

Container and Modular Handling

We supply container skidding system solutions for:

  • Heavy container transfer in ports and industrial yards
  • Modular plant installation
  • Data center module positioning

Systems can be configured for straight-line skidding, transverse transfer or combined skidding and lifting operations.

Shipyard and Offshore Applications

Our shipyard skidding system and rig skidding systems are engineered for marine environments and offshore module installation.

Typical applications include:

  • Offshore platform module installation
  • FPSO and topside module transfer
  • Ship block positioning
  • Dry dock equipment installation
  • Rig module replacement and upgrade
  • Jacket and deck section skidding

All marine systems are designed with corrosion-protected components and reinforced track structures for uneven foundations.

Our skidding systems for heavy loads are used in:

  • Shipyards and marine construction
  • Offshore oil & gas
  • Onshore oil & gas facilities
  • Power plants (thermal, nuclear, hydro)
  • Petrochemical plants
  • Steel mills and heavy industry
  • Bridge and infrastructure projects
  • Modular construction and EPC projects

Why Our Systems

As a manufacturer, we deliver:

  • Engineering calculations and load analysis
  • Custom design and fabrication
  • Full hydraulic and control integration
  • On-site supervision and commissioning
  • Rental and project-based solutions
